The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola has denied reports that he spoke against the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender) community in Lagos.
The former Lagos state governor made this known on Wednesday while speaking at the Commonwealth Peoples Forum, ongoing at the Commonwealth Head of Governments Meeting (CHOGM 2018) at Westminster.

When asked why he was against about two million people within the LGBT community in Lagos, and about an attack of about 40 members of the LGBT community in Lagos.
Fashola said: “I have never made a statement against the LGBT community, I don’t recall ever making such a statement. So wherever your source came from, that is grossly inadequate.
“That said, the 40 incidents that you mentioned, I am not aware of it. As you might know, I am no longer governor of Lagos state, I ceased to be governor in 2015.”
